Earlier in the year I built a MOC of King's Cross station. When displaying it, I thought it would be good to have Hogsmeade station as well. I had recently bought a great MOC of that from my friend Russell, and it then became the centrepiece of my latest display piece. Read on to hear the story behind, and see how the display ended up looking...
This is the third and last post covering my King's Cross MOC (my own creation). In the previous posts, we've looked at the facade, the roof design and some of the interior details from when it was under construction. Now it is time to have a look at the completed model...
There are only two weeks left till the first public display of my model of King's Cross station, so I better press on. Last update focused on the facade itself. This time, I'll show how the inside has progressed - and not least the roof covering it...
Generally, I build something and after having built and then rebuilt it several times over a few months to improve the outcome, I'll write it all up in a very long post. This time, I am building King's Cross station and have decided to break it up into smaller bits as the build progresses. Here is part 1 - enjoy...
As nice and quiet the Christmas period was, as busy was the period just after. So only now can we reveal the winner of the MOC competition: A Merry Potter Christmas. And while Christmas may seem like a distant memory already, let's have a look at who won...
Soon, most Hogwarts students will catch the Hogwarts Express from Hogsmeade to celebrate Christmas with their families. Harry definitely didn't want a Christmas with the Dursleys, but stayed back at Hogwarts or spend it with the Weasleys. For our last MOC (my own creation) competition of the year, build your favourite scene from the Christmas month in the Harry Potter universe. Here’s how you enter…
Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs is a worthy "Hogwarts Icon" in my opinion, so I decided to build a wearable version of them to supplement my Hogwarts Icons collection. For those playing/building along at home, I've now created a set of instructions with a part list to get you going. Have fun!
Movie characters sometimes have a piece of clothes or another personal item that becomes characteristic for them. One such example is Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs, which were also used on the very first Luna Lovegood LEGO minifigure. While available in minifigure scale, with the new Hogwarts Icons set out, I thought it would be nice with a full-sized version. So this is what I did...
For too long, Hogsmeade seemed somewhat forgotten by LEGO, though the 2004 sets gave us a few buildings to play with. The mid-year 2021 wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets has put Hogsmeade back on the radar, with one of the sets featuring both The Three Broomsticks and Honeydukes. But more buildings could be added. Here is my take on the Shrieking Shack...
For Harry Potter fans around the world, 1 September is known as Back to Hogwarts day. It is the day where students find their way to Hogwarts, typically catching the Hogwarts Express from Kings Cross station and arrive at the castle in the evening for the welcome feast and sorting ceremony. In the lead up to this year's Back to Hogwarts day, we ran MOC competition - and we are now ready to announce the winner...
